How long does an eye exam take?

April 19, 2020 |  With nothing exceptional to deal with.  A standard eye exam takes approximately 20 minutes.  What varies greatly is how much time is spent with the Optometrist.  Many practices use techs to do much of the testing and the Optometrist does a final check and ocular health exam.  Studio Eye Care uses a different approach with the Optometrist doing all of the testing.  One model is not necessarily better than the other but we prefer conversation and a slower pace.  Additional testing for glaucoma or contact lenses will vary.   Most folks will spend about 30 minutes picking out a pair of glasses.   Hope that helps!   Dr.j
